Chapter 229 The Bai Family Demands the Death Penalty for Shang Zexi
"Kill you? Ha—"
Mo Xiao suddenly let out a cold laugh, his voice filled with sorrow and sarcasm.
"I love you so much, how could I bear to kill you?"
After saying this, Mo Xiao tore off Bai Yan's clothes!
"I'll just punish you in a different way, so you'll know that the consequences of betraying me are worse than death!"
The familiar pain returned.
Bai Yan wept uncontrollably; in the end, it was all just wishful thinking on her part.
What right does she have to be happy?
Having been entangled with Mo Xiao, this venomous snake, her fate was destined to be tragic.
Three days later.
Shen Xiangxiang woke up in the hospital's VIP ward.
The drug that Bai Muyang injected into Shen Xiangxiang had severe side effects, but fortunately Xia Yue intervened.
Otherwise, let alone three days, he might not wake up even in three months.
"Little sister, are you alright?" Shen Qingyun came over to ask as soon as Shen Xiangxiang woke up.
Shen Xiangxiang smiled when she saw that her brother was safe and sound.
But then she remembered something and quickly asked, "Brother, where's Shang Zexi? How is she?"
Shen Xiangxiang remembered that before she fainted, she vaguely heard Shang Zexi's voice.
"He... he's fine, don't worry, just get some rest." Shen Qingyun lowered his head to tidy up Shen Xiangxiang's blanket, not daring to look his sister in the eye.
Shen Xiangxiang knows her brother too well.
His expression suggests he's lying!
Shen Xiangxiang pressed on, "What exactly happened to Shang Zexi? Brother, tell me quickly!"
Shen Qingyun remained silent.
Just then, Xia Yue arrived at the ward carrying a bouquet of lilies. Seeing that Shen Xiangxiang had woken up, Xia Yue immediately went over to comfort her, saying, "Don't get excited."
"Yueyue, tell me, what's wrong with Shang Zexi now?" Shen Xiangxiang turned to ask Xia Yue.
Xia Yue understands Shen Xiangxiang's personality, and it's unlikely that she would keep it a secret forever.
She spoke frankly, "Shang Zexi is currently being held in custody by the authorities. The Bai family accuses him of killing Bai Muyang and wants him to pay with his life."
"No...no..." Shen Xiangxiang couldn't accept this reality.
Shen Qingyun whispered to comfort her, "Sister, don't be too upset. We are all trying to find a way to save Shang Zexi. He is a Chinese citizen, so maybe he can be sentenced according to Chinese law."
He hurt Bai Muyang to protect you, so it's considered self-defense and he won't be sentenced to death.
"No, it wasn't him who killed Bai Muyang, it was me who killed Bai Muyang. Shang Zexi took the blame for me!" Shen Xiangxiang said, bursting into tears.
That idiot, how could he be so stupid!
The Bai family is not easy to deal with. The Bai family head will definitely not let this matter go easily after losing his only son, Bai Muyang.
Upon hearing that his younger sister had killed Bai Muyang, Shen Qingyun was initially shocked, but then quickly went to the door and glanced around.
After making sure no one was eavesdropping, he walked back and said, "Sister, don't say that anymore. Shang Zexi has his reasons for doing this."
"Brother, it's my fault that he was hurt, it's all my fault... Waaah..." Shen Xiangxiang was so upset that she finally burst into tears.
Seeing his sister in so much pain, and being unable to help her, Shen Qingyun was also extremely distressed.
Xia Yue was calmer. She held Shen Xiangxiang's hand and continued to persuade her, "With Shang Shang around, Shang Zexi will be fine. Shang Shang also has connections and influence in Country A. He can find a way to protect Shang Zexi."
But if it were you, the Shen family might not be able to protect you, Xiangxiang. No matter what, since this has already happened, we can only try to solve it, not regret it.
"Yes, sister, none of this is your fault, it's all Bai Muyang's fault!" Shen Qingyun couldn't help but grit her teeth when she mentioned that person.
If Bai Muyang hadn't suddenly rushed to the Shen family and forced him to sign the document, using violence to coerce him, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
They are all victims.
Bai Muyang, that perpetrator, is dead but still causes trouble for others!
Shen Xiangxiang continued to cry; her mind was a complete mess.
My heart is filled with guilt.
She usually treats Shang Zexi very badly and often calls him a dog of a man.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, it was Shang Zexi who took all the blame for her.
Is he in jail now?
Is it cold in prison?
Are we eating enough?
Are you dressed warmly enough?
"Brother, Yueyue, I want to save him. Let's find a way to save him, okay?" Shen Xiangxiang pleaded, crying.
Xia Yue comforted her, "Don't worry, we're all trying to figure something out."
"Yes, little sister, you should take care of yourself first," Shen Qingyun reassured her.
Shen Xiangxiang was too emotional and physically weak. She cried for a while and then fell asleep.
Xia Yue and Shen Qingyun exchanged a glance and walked into the corridor to talk.
Shen Qingyun said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, my sister has caused you so much trouble."
"How could that be? We're all on the same side, Brother Shen, don't be so formal. The most important thing right now is to find a way to get Shang Zexi out of trouble."
I've already used my connections with the Feng family; the evidence is conclusive. The Bai family seems determined to fight to the death, so a direct confrontation is not advisable.
"Then is there no force in the entire Country A that can do anything to the Bai family?" Shen Qingyun asked firmly.
"Of course not. Don't forget that Country A is a constitutional monarchy, where the imperial power is supreme." Xia Yue already had some ideas in mind.
However, she had a lot of unpleasant experiences with the emperor before, and she didn't want to deal with him unless absolutely necessary.
"Then I'll go and beg the Emperor of Country A, and I'll hand over all of the Shen family's assets in Country A to him. Would that work?" Shen Qingyun asked hurriedly.
